For Avalon, she was also strongly cyber bullied by a group of people on multiple blog pages that were initially started by an anonymous under the username Dragon Girl. She discovered her real friends – Tamara, Marshall, Sukey and Jemima (who were labelled the lamest group in the school). She was driven insane but her charming new best friend, Marshall, taught her to be strong and block it out – which is what she did. Everything was going so well, and then all of a sudden the bullies targeted Marshall as well. Marshall was grateful the bullies had loosened up on Avalon because he was madly in love with her ever since the first day he laid eyes on her, but on the other hand, he was also devastated he was getting all this undeserved hate.
The majority of the target audience would be sympathetic. The lead character is a skinny teenage boy and dateless for his prom, a fact his kid sister is only too eager to point out. This is a position many adults experienced as teenagers or could at least imagine how it would feel.

They compete against other contestants for an award of money, pageant titles, trophies, and a big sparkly tiara. However I don't approve of the parents position to put their child through this, and how they treat their daughters throughout the competition. Not only are they exploiting their five-year-olds for their own personal gain, they are putting their child through so much misery to look beautiful. They live through their daughters fame and glory, and make their daughters look very high maintenance. The Toddlers and Tiara girls go through hours of make-up, to different hairstyles, and wearing big fake wigs.
Some of these contestants are role models for the kids. While the contestants are performing their show, children are watching all their shameless behaviors.

As each one of us grows it seems that the courage that comes along with a child’s innocence is lost. Crash is a movie that tugs at its audience’s emotions. It was a very controversial movie but shows the love that is in relationships and that children tend to take care of their parents. When becoming a parent their child helps them grow and be all that they can be as they support their children to be all they can be. A parent learns just as much from their children as children learns from their parents.
Parents often have a large influence over their young children. For some, their parents’ smile means the world to them and for others, they tend to push themselves to the limits just to gain their parents’ approval. As they are the child’s parents, they are looked up to and learned from. To a child in his learning stage of life, who cannot differentiate from right to wrong, they need parental guidance and usually learn just by watching their parents’ actions.

I visit them on holidays… I still call them mom and dad. They’re always there to support me.” Nai advises potential and current foster parents to encourage teens in their care to be the best that they can be and to do things that will affect their lives positively. “Every kid is different, so try to support them in what they want to do.

One common factor that you will find when studying the lives of these magnificent children is their families. They are loved, and adored by a family that may never be able to see them be accepted by the world around them.
